After scoring his first goal for Nottingham Forest last weekend, coach Steve Copper has put his trust in Emmanuel Dennis to lead his team’s attack.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League tomorrow (3 pm) – a match that is crucial for both sides.
Only a point separates Wolves from Forest as both sides are in the bottom three. Wolves fell to a third consecutive defeat away to Chelsea last weekend, while Cooper’s side played out a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa after five straight defeats.
Cooper made some changes to the side that were defeated by Leicester City the week before and now faces a dilemma over whether to stick with the same line-up and formation at Molineux.

Neco Williams, Renan Lodi, Lewis O’Brien, Jesse Lingard, and Taiwo Awoniyi all dropped out of the side following their 4-0 defeat at Leicester.
Serge Aurier, Harry Toffolo, Ryan Yates, Remo Freuler, and Dennis will hope they can retain their places and the Welsh boss may opt to keep the same back line of four consisting of Aurier, Steve Cook, Scott McKenna, and Toffolo.
In the centre of the pitch, the trio of Cheikhou Kouyate, Yates, and Freuler worked well together against Villa. O’Brien on the other hand would have liked to have had a better impact on the team against Leicester and that leaves Cooper weighing up whether to bring him back into the starting line-up.
It remains to be seen whether Orel Mangala will be in contention to start after picking up a hamstring injury and being named as an unused substitute on the bench against Villa. In attack, Dennis got on the scoresheet after being handed his first league start by Cooper and could get the nod alongside Morgan Gibbs-White in his return to Molineux.
